Working at Scale: A Practical Leadership Skills Programme for Primary Care Network Managers 2023

MS Teams.

**APPLICATIONS FOR THIS EVENT HAVE NOW CLOSED**

“If you’re a Primary Care Network Manager, then this ‘Working at Scale’ skills development programme is likely to be of interest to you or a colleague”.

The London Leadership and Lifelong Learning Team are delighted to announce further cohorts of this programme; designed to equip Primary Care Network (PCN) Managers with the tools, skills, strategies and networks to lead, manage and influence change within their teams and their Primary Care Networks.  It will create time to consider how PCNs and the Fuller Stocktake Report are shaping the way healthcare is delivered locally, regionally and nationally, and to support the voice of the PCN Managers in the Integrated Care Systems.

The purpose of the programme is for PCN Managers to have an opportunity to step away from their busy operational environment and spend time networking, sharing best practice and working ‘on their local healthcare environment’ rather than ‘operationally in it’.  It is not about how to be a PCN Managers, rather how to develop the skills that will support you to be effective in the role and to enable you to connect with other managers to help build a regional support network.

Specifically, the programme aims are to:

  1. Provide a robust learning environment to develop ideas, strategies, skills and tools to drive Primary Care Networks forward, as appropriate
  2. Give time and space away from the busy operation to help shape, plan build and deliver change across the PCN Managers and more widely across the London Region
  3. Work with others on common challenges within Primary Care and develop ways of working in collaboration, co-production, and joined up thinking
  4. Develop and enhance leadership skills and strategic thinking, and how to engage others in change
  5. Enhance and develop a personal network of other PCN Managers as well as healthcare leaders and decision makers in Primary Care.

Attending the Programme

This programme will be delivered virtually using the Teams platform and the focus will be on creating a learning environment that is engaging, interactive, informative, supportive, challenging and practical.

Throughout the programme participants will be introduced to the latest thinking and will broaden their understanding of the different perspectives of stakeholder groups, enabling them to make more informed decisions around working in collaboration with others.

During the programme delegates will have the opportunity to work in small groups on a change theme where they can apply their knowledge and skills in an improvement project.  Delegates will also have access to Aspire’s Digital Learning Hub, an on-line training platform designed to enhance the remote learning experience, and includes access to a range of management tools, programme handouts, videos, questionnaires, further reading material, and personal learning activities (a range of pre and post workshop activities) to embed learning in a supportive and practical way.

The programme is led and facilitated by experienced tutors from Aspire Development who have been developing and delivering this programme over the last 3 years. Throughout the programme you will have the opportunity to listen to and share ideas and experiences with guest speakers and subject matter experts in healthcare.
